Because I didn’t even know that was an option until I read this thread. I would need to check what my BIOS supports. This is a recent Gigabyte motherboard and latest BIOS, so I imagine you can do it. Thanks for the tip.

The Corsair software allows you to create a custom curve for fan speeds by CPU temperature, which I use. It also has a lot of temperature and speed monitors which are sometimes useful, and RGB effects, which I never use. I believe there are others ways to achieve the fine grained control of fan speeds in Linux (or maybe the BIOS), but it is something I would need to get to grips with before considering moving to Linux.

I would like to try Linux Mint, but there are no Corsair drivers for my CPU AIO cooler. There are workarounds, but it is not ideal. It is a choice between how much Windows annoys me compared to the lack of hardware support in Linux. Currently Windows is still winning. Maybe when Windows 10 is out of support I will switch.

So, common tittle-tattle is now technology news?

Quite. My guess is in vitro fertilisation, followed by gene editing of the fertilised egg, before implantation. Then you can breed a population of GM pigs suitable for organ transplants.

When in the pig life cycle are the genes edited? Is this in the embryo or later on? Surely not after birth?

That does not sound right. They should be promoting you to enter the number on the device where you initiated the authentication, not on your phone; at least that is how it works for me when I connect my company laptop to VPN - I have to use MS Authenticator on my phone, which shows a number (protected by two biometrics), which I then have to enter on my laptop.

Would that be Heinz finest, and are we including the juice?

The big luxury watch brands will service their watches for many decades; a Rolex will last a lifetime, if not longer.

As a programmer, I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google. I don’t bother with formal training courses anymore, when a quick skim of Google gives me what I need much quicker. Text books? I have not bought one in decades.

Sorry, I had not seen that particular accusation from “Alice”, but the story is evolving and there are many people coming forward with different allegations.

I prefer Walt. Or Whalteeeeer.
